What reading level is The Oxford Divines Not Members of the Church of England book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Be- sides, in the very passage quoted from Augustine, he refers to Cyprian, Ambrose, and Gregory, as agree- ing with himself. Augustine may have been incon- sistent in following tradition at one time and disre- garding it at another ; if so, his inconsistencies are a stumbling-block to traditionists, but nothing to us. It is scarcely necessary to remark that predestin- ation is the doctrine; of the seventeenth article of ;. "the Church of England, and also of Hooker's noble sermon on " The Cert...ainty and Perpetuity of * Chillingworth, vol. I. P. Xxi.
113 Faith in the Elect ;" beyond the Church of England and Hooker, in this matter, we do not go.
A still less successful instance is the doctrine of purgatory. " I think/' says Mr. Newman, " it may be shewn that its existence is owing to the same indulgence of human reason and of private judg- ment upon Scripture, in default of catholic tradi- tion " (p. 209. ). Certain it is, on his own shewing, that passages strongly in favour of purgatory may be found in the Fathers, though not in the most ancient, and that no passage in favour of it is to be found in Scripture ; on the contrary, it is not only an addition to Scripture, but against it.
